re: #56 Kefirah

see: prop 12. caps on medical malpractice. sounds like a good idea - except they made the caps so low, that plaintiff’s lawyers rarely take on those cases anymore, unless the person injured made [x] amount of dollars, where [x] is an amount way over minimum wage. see, economic damages weren’t capped.

so, fewer plaintiff’s cases. guess that might also sound good - except that there are people who REALLY deserve to have their case heard by a jury, who never make it to court, because they can’t afford it - texas law requires a medical expert to testify, and they charge as much per hour as a lawyer [sometimes more].

Wow, the effects of tort reform that are never ever mentioned. It’s easier just to vilify attorneys.
